Age recommendations:

For 1-year-olds:
While they shouldn’t do the actual dyeing of the egg, they can help paint or add stickers. They can also do little things, such as being in charge of handing you the already hard-boiled egg to put in the dye. Be sure to walk them through each step, so they can learn and feel involved in the process.

For 2+:
Older tots can put the eggs in the dye and help with all other decorations. Do not let them handle hot water or the actual act of hard-boiling the gg.
